Safety
A safe sleeping environment is an essential aspect to consider when choosing a crib. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can trap the child's arms or head). Check that it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't advised because they can increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer a variety of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. Some come with anti-microbial treatment. If your mattress has drop sides, make sure it is in the up position and secured.
Drop sides should only be allowed down only when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid bottom be sure to avoid placing it against the wall because this will restrict airflow and could cause the death of a coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends may be safer since they allow for more airflow.
If your cot is set on one side, then you can choose it. It's the safest option for your baby cots on sale when they start to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's time to move to a junior bed.

If you're buying furniture that is second-hand or an heirloom, check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers that can be removed tots and cots create a risk.
If you're unsure about how to use your cot in a safe manner you can ask other parents or visit the local NCT New Baby course for assistance and guidance. If your cot comes with a guide, make sure you go through it before using it and follow the directions.
